My kids do chores to earn 5 minutes to one hour of screen time. They get to "spend" their minutes as long as their homework is done and we ok it.

I love this idea @bobbi_rasmussen! How do you keep track of the minutes?

I had my daughter design cards (1/4 sheet of paper) for 5, 10, 15, and 30 minutes, and some for 1 hour....we "laminated" them with clear contact paper. The kids get awarded cards when they do chores, and they redeem them for screen time. We listed out all the chores and gave them point values.

Fantastic, @bobbi_rasmussen! My 7-year-old would love to do this.

How old are your kids, @bobbi_rasmussen? Curious if I am beyond my window of opportunity to do something similar.
